SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURENC STATE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTUREGRADUATE HANDBOOK 2020-2021This handbook is complementary to the current NC State University Graduate regulations/handbook/. The contents of the two documents provide answersto most of the questions you may have regarding graduate programs in architecture.MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTUREThis Graduate Program Handbook is provided to assist you in planning your graduate studies. It includes programdescriptions, policies, calendars and other pertinent information. Please read the handbook carefully and retain itthroughout your graduate studies.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Professor Dana K. Gulling, Director of GraduatePrograms; School Head David Hill; or Professor Kristen Schaffer Ph.D., Graduate Advisor.THE PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES OF GRADUATE EDUCATIONFormal education serves three different purposes: To prepare individuals for one or more roles in support ofsociety's need for the preservation of its cultural heritage and its continuing evolution; to foster independence bydeveloping the intellectual and creative resources of individuals; and to engender a sense of self-fulfillment. It is ahappy but rare occurrence when all three purposes are achieved in any individual. Society defines the manypotential roles that formal education may support, while the individual is most involved in fostering of intellectualindependence – which is the central aim of formal education.The conventional phases of formal education mark significant periods in the maturing of the intellect. Kindergartenand elementary schools emphasize fundamental skill development and nurture the growth of perceptual skills bywhich young minds may comprehend the world around them. In junior and senior high school education thecomplexity of the universe is revealed in broad and simplistic terms. It is here that the student begins to develop acapacity for logic and reasoning – and a sense of probable causality, that a series of events may result in anoutcome. The undergraduate phase of university education hones the capacity for reasoning through exposure toincreasingly specialized and complex areas of learning.Throughout these phases of education, the student learns to move from the concrete to the abstract, from thegeneral to the specific, from the literal to the figurative. Similarly, the teacher is asked to direct the process ofeducation by exposing students to increasingly deeper levels of knowledge, and to reveal the subtleinterdependencies among the various branches of learning.Graduate education is the final stage in the development of intellectual independence. It is different fromundergraduate education in that the student is encouraged to establish premises, to hypothesize, and to defendboth the procedures and the conclusion of independent investigation. The burden of proof for the verifiability of
knowledge rests on the student, not on the faculty member. Accordingly, the behavior of both teacher and studentmust change: the teacher becomes an intelligent critic, responding to situations rather than initiating them, probingthe reasoning as much as the result, guiding rather than instructing, while the student chooses the subject forinvestigation and develops a capacity for disciplined inquiry. It is a curious fact of life that, while moving from thegeneral to the specific by probing deeper and deeper into the chosen field of specialization, the mind reveals itsmaturation by ultimately returning to a position of generality. It is as if the real reason for formal education were toreduce our complex universe to a set of simple propositions.The previous statements represent ideals. Nevertheless, universities should not lose sight of the fundamentaldifferences between graduate and undergraduate education: the former is basically inner- and self-directed, whilethe latter is outer- and other-directed. Since the academic posture of teacher and student is modified – indeedreversed – it is mandatory that the essence of graduate education be understood by all to achieve the desiredobjectives.Finally, a new element of graduate education is gaining an expanded role, namely, post-baccalaureate lifelonglearning. Two factors play a dominant role in this phenomenon: the first is the vast increase in knowledge,especially in science and technology, and the demands of society that individuals be abreast of recentdevelopments to serve it better. The second is modern communications technology. There are fields of studytoday that did not exist a scant ten or even five years ago, and the phenomenon is gaining momentum rather thanlosing it: ten years from today our universities will be teaching topics that have not yet been discovered. Add to thisthe fact that truly independent study is more feasible today than it has ever been in human history, thanks tosatellite and network communications. It is not that the role of the teacher as a "mentor" is changing; rather, it isthat there may be no "teacher" in the traditional sense. The "classroom" is now the whole wide world, and ateacher's message may be repeated at will until it is fully understood by the student.All this reinforces the need, especially in graduate education, to teach the student "to learn how to learn." In thefuture graduate education is, in a real sense, a phase that extends "for the rest of one's life" beyond thebaccalaureate degree. The implications of this reality on graduate education are profound and diverse, changingour concepts of campus life, teacher-student relationships, and the very meaning of "going to graduate school."A ORGANIZATION OF THE COLLEGE AND SCHOOLThe College of Design is one of 12 major academic divisions, schools, and colleges, which comprise North CarolinaState University. It is a comprehensive design school with undergraduate degree programs in Graphic Design,Industrial Design, and Art and Design, in addition to Architecture. Graduate degrees are offered in LandscapeArchitecture, Art and Design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, and Architecture. The College also offers a Ph.D. inDesign and a Doctor of Design.The College of Design is headed administratively by a Dean, who is supported by an Executive Committeecomposed by the Heads of each academic and administrative unit in the College of Design, and an Associate Dean.A core administrative and technical staff is responsible to the Dean's office as well.The School of Architecture is administered by a Head. The College of Design Student Services Office providessupport to the Director of Graduate Programs (DGP) and coordinates graduate admissions. The College GraduateStudent Services Coordinator is responsible for student records, and all communications, informal and official,page 2
between graduate students, the School of Architecture, and the Graduate School. In addition, the School Director ofGraduate Programs (DGP) is responsible for advancement reviews and advising within the graduate program. Finaldecisions on all such matters, however, remain the responsibility of the School Head.Administrative positions in Architecture described above are currently held by the following:HeadDavid HillDirector of Graduate ProgramsDana K. GullingGraduate AdvisorKristen SchafferCOD Graduate Student Services CoordinatorJessica JacksonCOD Scheduling OfficerPamela Christie-TabronToday the School of Architecture faculty consists of 15 full-time positions, including the Head. The School alsoemploys numerous part-time faculty as Professors of Practice, who typically are engaged to teach one course orstudio per semester. The faculty is distinguished with numerous teaching, research, and professional design awards.They have authored influential books, contributed articles to professional journals, have served on editorial boards,on boards of national professional organizations, and have chaired national architecture or architectural educationcommittees.B THE MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE CURRICULAB.1 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSThe School of Architecture offers three Tracks to the Master of Architecture degree. Refer to sample curricula forcomplete descriptions of degree requirements.Track One: The School of Architecture’s Master of Architecture Track 1 program, is essentially a 4 2 year program. Itis for those students with a preprofessional, undergraduate degree from a university or school with a NationalArchitecture Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited Master of Architecture program. Our Track 1 students come fromacross the United States, as well as from international programs.Generally, this track is completed in two years of full-time study. Accredited by NAAB. Minimum 48 credit hours.Architecture Graduate Design Studios (ARC 500, (3) ARC 503 @ 6 CH each) 24 creditsArchitecture Graduate Electives, including ARC 561 (6 @ 3CH each)18 creditsArchitecture or College Graduate Electives (2 @ 3 CH each)6 creditsTrack Two: For students with a five-year NAAB-accredited Bachelor of Architecture degree.

This Track normallyrequires a Summer Session and three semesters of preparatory work before entering the final two years of graduatestudy. See the following pages for prerequisite courses. The final two years are the same as those described forTrack One students. This degree is accredited by NAAB. Minimum 96 credit hours unless some prerequisites arewaived.page 3
B.2 OBJECTIVESThe Master of Architecture is intended as preparation for students to assume responsible roles in the profession ofarchitecture. Most recent graduates have chosen to enter private architectural practice, undertaking the richprofessional challenges it offers. While acknowledging the primacy of the practice orientation, the Master ofArchitecture program also prepares students for alternative careers in architecture. Generally, within the profession,the Master of Architecture is considered as the terminal degree.The Master of Architecture as a first professional degree is fully accredited by the National Architectural AccreditingBoard (NAAB). As such, it satisfies educational requirements for licensing and certification by the various states andthe National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).B.2.a From NAAB:In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degreeprogram as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the soleagency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees:the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be grantedan 8-year, 4-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with establishededucational standards. Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitutean accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as anaccredited degree.NC State University, College of Design, School of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degreeprograms:B.Arch (pre-professional degree 30 graduate credits)M.Arch Track 1 (pre-professional degree 48 graduate credits)M.Arch Track 3 (non-architecture pre-professional degree 96 credits)Next NAAB accreditation visit for all programs: 2022B.3 MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (TRACK 1)For students with a four-year undergraduate pre-professional degree in architecture (BEDA degree or equivalent).This degree is NAAB-accredited and can be used toward architecture registration in the United States.FIRST YEARFall SemesterARC 500 Arch.

Track 1 students should have completed all of the prerequisitecourses (see list below) during their undergraduate education or should schedule them as additional requirementsduring their graduate program.We review accepted students’ transcripts and portfolios to ensure that curricula are similar. See Appendix E PreRequisite Course Checklist. If further clarification is required, then we may request additional documents from thestudent. In addition, NC State School of Architecture Track 1 requires that the following NAAB Student PerformanceCriteria (SPC) be met in a student’s pre-professional education: (A4) Architecture Design Skills, (A7) History andGlobal Culture, and (A8) Cultural Diversity and Social Equity. If additional courses are required, then the Director ofGraduate Programs (DGP) will alert the admitted students.Track 3 students are expected to complete these courses and a series of three topical ARC 400-level studios (ARC403, 404, 405) to satisfy the professional prerequisite requirements. An evaluation will determine if credit for anyrequirements will be allowed for previous course work. For course descriptions for all prerequisite Architecturecourses, see the Architecture listings under Registration and Records on the NCSU ectory.php#course-search-resultsFollowing is a list of courses that are prerequisites for the graduate program.Note: Since the following courses are required for the Master of Architecture degree, they must be taken for a grade.A student must earn a C- or better grade in the course.ARC 211 Natural Systems and ArchitectureARC 232 Structures and MaterialsARC 241 Introduction to World ArchitectureARC 242 History of Western Architecture (Preq.
